Product Insights
The Brown Bowl by Simons Maison is an 8-inch wide, 2.25-inch deep porcelain bowl with a hand-applied reactive glaze that yields a unique tan-to-chocolate finish, making each piece one-of-a-kind. It offers food-safe, scratch- and chip-resistant durability, with a glaze hardness of Mohs 7 that withstands hundreds of dishwasher cycles without fading. The bowl is safe for microwave and refrigerator-to-microwave thermal shock, but not for conventional oven use. Its estimated 750–850 mL capacity suits salads, pasta, grain bowls, and serving sides for 2–3 people. Priced at 35 CAD, it pairs with matching dinnerware sold separately, and is backed by Simons' family-run heritage since 1840.

Beautiful brown glaze
The outer brown glaze looks almost like wood. It's very beautiful and the interior of the bowl is dark/black-ish. Exactly what I was looking for!
